We came across a package of Cottonelle toilet paper (with aloe) in our storage closet. Miles teased that we should take it with us to Wisconsin. We will be staying with my gracious aunts when we arrive...taking aloe-laced TP isn't an option, and I said as much. Curious as to why I reacted so seriously to a silly suggestion, Miles urged me to add, "Aunt Debbie is allergic to aloe." I watched him grimace in discomfort as he imagined the possibilities.

"Trust me," I went on. "If you want to stay on Aunt Debbie's good side, it's best not to irritate her back side."

"I couldn't agree more."
